-# If -s option is used, the status field is updated, providing that the status
-# arg is either "closed" or "open".
-#
-# If the -d or -n flags are used then it will update the status_date or
-# latest_news fields, respectively.
-# 
-# If the -i status_ver option is used the IOCCC_status_version field will be
-# updated.
-#
-# The -N option is a dry-run: it will just show what would have been changed
-# without the option.
-#
-# The -S option lets one set the path to sed(1).
-#
-# The -G option lets one set the path to grep(1).
